Life's a beach part duex
Sorry for the poor quality of the pictures below; they were taken with a hell phone camera. Bahahahahaha.
Anyways. In the first shot, taken at sunset from the pier in Ventura, you'll see a PERFECTLY shaped heart out in the waves in front of the Crown Plaza Hotel. Among other things.
Ventura at the beach is really a mixture of the old and the new. You can walk a few blocks in any direction and see buildings and landmarks going all back to the late 18th century. The pier itself dates back to 1872. The church is 125 years older than that. Homes all along the strand area are, again, a smattering from every decade since the Civil War era. Like so many vortex points that one single square mile has a harbor, a railroad line, two freeway intersections, and a downtown, etc. It's also home to the oldest surfing in the area, going back over 100 years. The sucsequent pictures were taken at Surfer's Point, where all the surfers who want to get out there on their long boards and stay busy all day go to get away from it all. The waves are constant, about every 5 seconds, and come in sets 5 to 10 deep, so there is always action afoot.
